About

Over the past 20 years I have worked on visual media and experience designs for virtual, online and physical spaces, merging the three in seamless experience. I was part of design teams that delivered a number of themed attractions and exhibits around the world including Canadian Pavilion at EXPO 2005, BC Canada House at Torino Olympics, Al Khobar Science Centre, the biggest science centre in the Middle East. Before joining iQmetrix, where I currently serve as a creative director, I worked with DAE-VANOC core design team that delivered Vancouver 2010 Olympic Ceremonies.
